Just a thought for today...

Sometimes life presents an unexpected opportunity to reflect. I just finished cooking and freezing meals for quick and easy healthy options for dinner that I can heat and eat. I made my vanilla and strawberry

Arbonne lunch shake and Gracie and I headed outside to get some fresh air on the patio. I put my phone down to take a minute away from social media and all of the fear factor, anxiety driven posts to just "be" for a moment. I found myself taking a deep breathe, listening to wind chimes on the patio, the breeze rustling through the trees, birds chirping, watching Gracie play with her toy (ignore the dirty face ;) ) and hearing the gentle falling of rain. It centered me, unexpectedly. I didn't realize I was lifting my shoulders, clenching my jaw, just tense until my entire body (and mind) just relaxed. It reminded me that although this is a time of great concern and uncertainty for our world, it is also giving us moments of peace to pause and enjoy our surroundings. Find the beauty in what surrounds you today, take a breathe, release it, and be grateful.
